A dual road to success

The subsidiary of STRABAG in Oman has upgraded an existing single carriageway located in Ad´Dhahira region to a dual carriageway with a length of 34 km, along the existing road alignment.

Strabag is one of Europe's leading construction groups based in Austria. The company started operating its subsidiary in Oman in the beginning of the 1970s. As pioneers in the road construction industry, STRABAG Oman LLC has helped the Sultanate of Oman bridge infrastructure gaps by building roads everywhere in the country. Over the last four decades, the company has successfully completed hundreds of prestigious contracts for airports, roads, bridges, commercial complexes, dams, and harbors. Additionally Oman is the center for managing other STRABAG subsidiaries in the Middle East, such as STRABAG Qatar WLL and STRABAG Abu Dhabi LLC.

The project consists of the dualization of an existing single carriageway located in Ad´Dhahira Region, connecting Ibri and Miskin. Furthermore, the contract included the construction of six roundabouts, two vehicular under passes, four pedestrian underpasses and seven large Irish bridges over wadichannels. In order to protect the existing utilities, extensive relocation and protection works were required, for which extraordinary quality and selection of first-grade construction materials were a priority throughout the project execution.
